Hi and quick Question about shape data

[MikeD]

Hi all

I have just started out on the taking Visio seriously path after using it for a number of years and only scratching the surface .

My google searches in the past have landed me on this site so I thought I better join 

Hopefully I am posting on the right board.

I have set myselfup a number of shapes which I have configured shape data for and used the data graphics to display the information. On a number of shapes I have set some text callouts next to the shape (a connector in this case) but whenever I change the shape size/bend etc the labels go to pot.

Is there a way to stop these labels resizing etc with the shape?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer

Regards

Mike

hi al

Thanks for the link, I was hoping the was a simple toggle somwhere I could just switch to stop the data graphics resising with the shape.

I had a look in the shape sheet but I think I need to spend some time getting my head around them first

I found a work around which is to remove the shape data graphic after the resize and then reapply it. not ideal but works for now.
